With its quartz Grafic Mistero (ref. 359.10S.101.20) chronograph, DOXA makes the first step into the uncharted territory of relatively inexpensive timepieces that come in a deliberately “un-Doxa” hi-tech exterior.
Oris Swiss Hunter Team PS (Patrouille-Suisse) Edition
The upcoming Oris Swiss Hunter Team PS Edition (ref. 01 733 7629 4063-Set LS in 44 millimeters and a smaller ref. 01 733 7649 4091-Set LS in 38 mm) collection may not look particularly original both to Oris fans and to those especially interested in aviator’s timekeepers, but, with a part of the proceedings promised to be diverted to a fund supporting a number of the last remaining Hawker Hunter Mk 58 fighter jets from the good old Cold War era, it certainly supports a noble cause.
Louis Moinet Geograph Limited Edition LM-24.10.60
The new limited edition Louis Moinet Geograph (ref. LM-24.10.60) offers a durable and dependable work-horse movement in an exquisitely designed and flawlessly executed case. Although the recommended street price for this timekeeper is a bit too steep (to a degree when you should rightfully expect an in-house mechanism beating inside its stainless steel case,) it still looks extremely elegant and eye-watering refined. If the price wasn’t an issue, I think I would be throwing cash right into my monitor instead of writing this brief review.
Revue Thommen Airspeed XLarge Chronograph (16071.6877)
Later this month Revue Thommen is set to present the new member of its Airspeed family of luxury “aviators”: the new Airspeed XLarge Chronograph (ref. 16071.6877). Featuring a bland, even somewhat generic exterior, but being equipped with a robust caliber, the chronograph doesn’t offer much in the styling department, but gives you good “value”, especially if you will manage to find one with a good discount (or simply opt-in for a used one in mint condition.)

Carl F. Bucherer Patravi EvoTec Calendar
